ACTRESS TO DROP NEW ALBUM – R.I.P.

Best news of the day? Easy – Actress is ready to launch his new album in April. It’s called R.I.P. Why so morbid, you ask? A few reasons. As Actress (Darren Cunningham) puts it himself “I’m just an instrument. I’m completely dead when I write.” The fifteen tracks/chapters of R.I.P. begin with Ascension and the Book of Genesis and play out through gardens, serpents and mythological caves. “When I feel I’m coming towards the end of the process I’ll buy some books related to the theme. So I started Milton’s Paradise Lost, started to re-read Jamie James’s The Music Of The Spheres. I wanted the movements to make sense scene-wise and chronologically.” R.I.P. takes you into deep space, drifting back and forth between space and rhythm, probing the “boundaries in and of rest and peace.” The album is going to be released on Honest Jon label and even though we are not the ones to post tracklists of upcoming albums, Actress always has the best track names ever, so here you go:
